At this age level, the Moodle might be best used as a communication tool with parents. Class schedules could be posted as well as lunch menus. The Moodle could be used to organize parent volunteers, class parties, field trips, and as a means to share information about events at school. Students could also use the Moodle but would require the same one-on-one assistance they would need with traditional writing methods. However, it would be a great way for teachers to post and share students' work, videos, and pictures for parents to enjoy. Classroom activities and student learning could be shared with the entire school.
